Hogwarts starts with stealing power

In Lin Xia's mind.

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.

"Professor," she asked thoughtfully, "do you think a pet egg that has not yet broken out of its shell and is being gestated can be considered a living being?"

Professor Oti was slightly startled.

This example was new, she had never considered this kind of problem before.

When most people think of smart life, they think of all kinds of lively and cute little animals or people.

Her original intention was to ask Lin Xia to summon more deformed magical creatures and place them beside her, so that the deformed creatures could have more contact with her.

When one day comes, the shape-shifting creatures will naturally become more agile, and their transformation will be completed.

Professor Oti thought for a while: "If the pet egg does not die, it can be considered a living thing, and smart creatures should also be counted."

The gestating pet egg will actually have fetal movement, but it is very weak and cannot be felt by humans.

Professor Oti looked at the fog bug on her shoulder. Perhaps, magical creatures could feel this rhythm.

However, the professor still said: "I prefer that you continue to keep the fog bug with you. You are the master of its transformation. If it has more contact with you, it will transform faster."

Lin Xia said: "Well, I'll let it follow me during the day, and I'll try other methods at night."

Professor Oti sat back in his chair, lowered his head, intending to end the conversation.

Suddenly, she didn't know what she thought of. She raised her head again and said, "Lin Xia, maintaining a transformed magical creature for a long time requires a lot of magic power."

She paused and smiled slightly: "Although I can feel that the magic power in your body is extremely powerful, far from what other little wizards can compare to, but you should apply for the school's subsidy and use your top student secret key.

Well, I remember that Hogwarts revised the secret key this year and subdivided the special subsidies for outstanding students.

What kind of subsidy do you want to apply for? As long as you write a detailed paper and the requirements are reasonable, the school will pass it. This should have been online just yesterday. You can go and take a look. "

Lin Xia immediately said: "Okay, Professor."

She is the best at writing papers.

It seems that God does not allow her not to gather this wool.

Returning to the golden wooden house at night, she immediately opened the secret key plate.

She didn't open the secret key last night. When she opened it today, she found that the secret key section had changed drastically.

Compared with the clean and refreshing interface in the past, this key revision is still mainly simple, but it has several new functional sections.

There are [Online Transaction], [Subsidy Application], and [Project Submission].

The functions that still existed before were [Task Area], [Book Area], and [Communication Area].

With the arrival of the new school year, Lin Xia regained some permission to read banned books.

She exited the [Book Area], opened her information panel, and found that her level-up benefits had been increased.

Because she is an outstanding student as a research scholar, and she received the outstanding student badge as a first-year student, her initial treatment is 1.5 points compared to the initial treatment of 1 point for senior students.

After several extra points, it came to 2.2 points.

Two things she encountered during the summer gave her extra points again.

One is that he won the Most Promising Newcomer Award from "Transfiguration Today" and received 0.2 points.

Unfortunately, she was not given points for solving the "Alien Invasion" later. It may be because Professor McGonagall told her face to face that this was her idea in order to protect her, so the main scorer became Professor McGonagall.

She is just assisting from the side and does not constitute a bonus point.

Lin Xia flipped through the page and was a little surprised when she reached the last extra point item.

"Did you also get bonus points for the Romania thing?"

[Excellent student Lin Xia, solved the potential risk crisis in Romania, caught the spy who had been hiding for a long time, +0.2 points]

Lin Xia's level of treatment: 2.6 points.

Compared with the 3 points for the next level of authority improvement, she is only one step away.

Lin Xia thought that if the press conference of the Natural Magic Wand was held at the weekend, it would be very fast to upgrade.

I just don’t know how many points the natural magic wand will add to her.

She originally believed that the natural wand was very important to the wizarding world and was far more powerful than the magnetic wand invented before. The bonus points should be higher than the magnetic wand paper.

But now that she was looking through the bonus points, she suddenly became less sure.

Perhaps these bonus points are just based on a certain level of importance. As long as a certain level is reached, you can get bonus points.

However, the points added will not escalate with the importance of the event.

After going through her own information, Lin Xia opened the magic book she prepared and recorded her thoughts on what to do next.

First of all, the laboratory must be upgraded. Anyway, those gold galleons cannot be taken out and used for other purposes.

In addition, experimental materials can also be subsidized with the school's gold galleons.

But according to the trilogy of wand making, the last special bonus wand related to devil's ivy, with Professor Sprout here, she is most lacking in magic materials.

Not only her share, but also Draco's share can be used to subsidize the laboratory.

After writing down what she wanted to do, Lin Xia clicked on the [Subsidy Application] that Professor Oti said.

After reading the explanation of this newly launched section, Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly. No wonder Professor Oti asked her to use this section.

This section of Daqing was proposed by Professor Oti!

[…For this, we are especially grateful to Professor Oti Havertz for his proposal to launch a new subsidy application section to provide better protection for seekers of knowledge and practitioners, and also to allow special talents to get more support! ]

Lin Xia felt that after being promoted to the second grade, Hogwarts seemed to increase subsidies for everything.

This subsidy is not only reflected in the excellent students, but the excellent students can get better resource support.

But even ordinary students can also get more resources than in the past.

Since Professor Oti has specially reminded her, it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Lin Xia will submit the subsidy application today.

The automatic feather pen fell down, and soon a large piece of text was written.

Submit, upload, all in one go!

After doing all this, she exited the excellent student secret key, shook off the fog bug on her shoulder, and placed it next to the blue-gray pet egg.

When she put it down, Lin Xia felt a strange feeling.

The mist worm was summoned by her using Transfiguration. It is considered her natal creature. When the mist worm becomes stronger, it can feed back to the wizard's magic power, such as improving the wizard's qualifications, etc.

And her mist worm is even more special. When it was still very weak, she could already sense the potential needs of the mist worm.

This time, she also got feedback from the mist worm.

——Very comfortable! I want to stick closer!

Lin Xia thought for a while, and put the small mist worm directly on the pet egg, sticking it tightly.

——Super comfortable double!

Lin Xia's eyes flashed with a smile, and she looked at the pet egg that the mist worm was sticking to.

The mist worm is comfortable, but I don't know if the pet egg is comfortable.

Well, anyway, the pet egg can't talk, so just make do with it.

As for Lin Xia.

She began to practice daily.

After practicing, she still had to talk to the diary.

Lin Xia felt like she was feeding AI, spreading a little waste to the diary every day, and Tom's thoughts were slowly reversed by her.

…

Time passed quickly, and it was the weekend.

This is a day that everyone is looking forward to!

Draco, Lin Xia, Hermione, Ron and Harry got up early in the morning and came to Professor McGonagall to dress up.

Yes, because today's press conference is more important, these students also have to dress up.

This is also the first time that Hogwarts has made it so grand for students. It is said that not only do they have to dress up, but even the Great Hall will be decorated with magic.

While they were dressing up, a large number of adult wizards were waiting outside Hogwarts.

Today's weekend at Hogwarts is particularly lively, and the solemn and serious castle seems to have regained its new glory.

The whole Hogwarts is filled with a lively atmosphere.

Even the green grass seems to have sprouted new buds under the stimulation of the joyful magic.

The other wizards who came here couldn't help but look solemn when they saw it.

It is said that Hogwarts has an extraordinary foundation, as if it has self-awareness.

Now, is it happy about the appearance of the natural wand?

What many people didn't expect was that even Dumbledore came.

But he only appeared for a while, smiled and greeted some wizards, and disappeared again.

After he left, the wizards who greeted him gathered together to discuss privately.

"Dumbledore is here. It seems that the rumors outside are true. The invention of the natural wand cannot be without the help of Hogwarts."

"Maybe Hogwarts has already studied it, and then it was taken out by the hands of that genius researcher."

"Do we still want to fight for that genius scholar?"

"We must fight for it, but it is said that the Malfoy family is behind that genius. It seems that we can't force it."

"Yes, the Malfoy family should not be underestimated."

While these wizards were talking, Lucius Malfoy appeared in front of everyone in a black suit and a snake-headed cane in his hand.

Beside him, there was also his wife Narcissa.

Narcissa was also dressed very grandly, wearing a high-end custom dress, with delicate makeup and a radiant smile.

Today's press conference.

Her son Draco will also appear to explain the natural wand.

The paper on the natural wand was published yesterday, causing a sensation in the wizarding world!

Many wizards do not believe that ordinary magic weeds and ordinary pine wood can become a good conductive wand.

And the conduction efficiency is an astonishing 0.8!

It is only 20% weaker than the customized wand that suits you. This is incredible.

When the magazine was published, it also included the time for the thesis defense, which was in the Great Hall of Hogwarts the next day.

This time, Hogwarts immediately became the hot spot yesterday.

Many people sent letters to inquire about Hogwarts, seeking the opportunity to enter the venue to listen.

Generally speaking, other wizards cannot enter Hogwarts without a legitimate reason.

And those who have not received a reply to the invitation letter cannot enter Hogwarts, otherwise they will be attacked as enemies.

As soon as the other wizards saw the Malfoys, they all stepped forward to compliment them.

These wizards were tactful and were all complimenting Draco.

Although everyone knew that Lin Xia was the main researcher of the natural wand.

But Lin Xia's Lin family also cooperated with the Malfoy family, so it was right to compliment their son.

Anyway, Lin Xia's halo is there and can't be escaped.

Lucius raised his head proudly and didn't speak, and Lady Narcissa answered on his behalf.

Narcissa held a small flower umbrella and covered her mouth with a smile, "No, no, it's all Draco's hard work. We don't have to make him do anything.

At the same time, it's also Lin Xia's good teaching. Draco has liked to follow Lin Xia since he was a child, and he may have been infected with a little bit of Lin Xia's cleverness."

Several wizards exchanged glances, and it seemed that Narcissa liked Lin Xia very much.

A wizard asked: "I heard that Lin Xia is cooperating with the Malfoy family. Do the Lin family and the Malfoy family have a good relationship?"

This time it was Lucius who spoke: "Of course it is very good. In order to win over the Lin family, we have offered extremely generous conditions. The Lin family will always be friends of the Malfoy family from the past to the present and in the future.

Lin Xia, this little witch, is also someone I have watched grow up since she was a child. She is very smart. If Draco can inherit 50% of Lin Xia's intelligence, I don't have to worry about him. I can safely hand over the entire Malfoy family to him."

Secretly.

A few more wizards exchanged glances.

It seems that the Malfoy family is very optimistic about the Lin family and also attaches great importance to Lin Xia.

Some wizards thought that if they had the opportunity to chat with Lin Xia alone later, should they offer higher conditions?

And some wizards are already considering withdrawing from the recruitment.

With the two moats of Hogwarts and the Malfoy family, it is difficult for Lin Xia to leave Hogwarts.

"Ding Dong--"The melodious bell rang.

Hogwarts opened the gate, and the wizards who received the reply invitation took out the invitation and entered Hogwarts.

Some wizards tried to fish in troubled waters, holding up very similar invitations to avoid detection.

However, when they were about to enter the gate, the two stone lions at the door suddenly looked at the wizard holding the fake invitation and emitted a red light from their mouths.

The red light was like a swift and sharp ray, shooting at the wizard, and immediately there was a scream.

"No, my eyes!!"

"It hurts so much, my eyes hurt so much!"

"My eyes are going blind, I can't see anything!"

When other wizards picked up their wands and prepared to save this wizard, they suddenly felt a strong palpitation.

The wizard turned his head and found that the two stone lions were actually looking at him.

The wizard was sweating profusely and put down his wand silently.

If he couldn't afford to provoke him, could he not hide?

And everyone later discovered that this stone lion could also transform.

They first shed their stone bodies little by little, and stood up from where they were sitting, then one head turned into two heads, and finally another head emerged.

The stone lions, which always had three heads, jumped down from the stone table.

They walked leisurely, slowly passing through the crowd, and gently flicked their tails from time to time.

The wizards had just experienced the power of these stone statues.

Now that they are so lifelike, some wizards who want to make small moves have become more cautious.

This must be the work of McGonagall in Hogwarts!

The creatures she transformed can achieve such accurate identification and attack.
